What is safe contraceptive to use birth control pills or iud for a highblood woman? 25 yrs old with 2 kids smoker
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Consider iid: You should consider long-acting reversible contraceptives (larc)--2 types of iuds and a small rod placed under the skin. All very effective (the most effective methods--as effective as sterilization), and last 5 or 10 years (iuds) or 3 years (implant). Low rates of side effects, and the hormone iud has low levels of hormones and benefits of lighter periods. Smokers have higher risks with bc pill.
